Our place is the last house on a dead end gravel road, on a serene lake. You’ll love the tranquility, not far from city life, but ideal to just relax.
From May-October, you can kayak, swim, bike ride, and enjoy the Berkshires, with many quaint shops and restaurants nearby.
This winter wonderland has 2 Ski Resorts within 45 minutes (Berkshire East and Bousquet), with hiking and snow shoeing on the lake.
It's great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families.

It is on a dead end gravel road, on a lake. It is wonderfully peaceful and calm.

The sunrises can be breathtaking. The bird watching (with hawks, eagles, herons, ducks, ospreys) is entertaining. Walks are delightful.

Steve and Marie are phenomenal hosts and their cottage was an ideal experience for our family. We rented it for our parents (4 grandparents) to stay while visiting our family in Goshen. They were extremely comfortable and were able to stay nearby. The lake is beautiful and the cottage has everything one needs for a sunny day on the lake (e.g., kayaks, beach towels, etc) or a rainy day inside. Thank you Steve and Marie!

Susan2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

What a great place to relax and unwind. Steve and Marie are great hosts who made sure the home is well equipped before you arrive. Steve met us at the door and gave us the tour. You can tell he takes pride in his home and his ability to be a great host. He even made sure we had a basket of fresh baked goods from the local bakery. Fresh scones for the adults and fresh chocolate chip cookies for our son. The house has ac, directv, and wifi, what more could you ask for? The kitchen has all new appliances including a dishwasher and a high end refrigerator. We got much use out of the lake. The fish were biting all week and the lake was not over run with too many other boats/kayakers etc. We brought our own kayaks to use but they had a few to choose from if you wanted to use theirs. We've decided we will be back again next year and possibly for a weekend or two this winter. We loved it in Goshen and at the Lake Escape.

Wayne2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

Incredible host and incredible location. Steve was very accommodating and communicative. The location is very private with a nice view, great outdoor space, easy lake access, new and clean kitchen and living space. Steve got us milk, fruit, and muffins and showed us around the place during check in, which was a very nice bonus. We hope to return this or next summer!

Will2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

This "lake escape" is a charming, clean and comfortable cottage on a beautiful waterfront location. It has all the modern amenities you would want (wi-fe, AC, TV, washer/dryer). Steve is a consummate host and provides all the info you need about the area and directions to where you need to go. This far exceeded our expectations. Great price for a great stay. Highly recommended.

Erik2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

Steve and Marie are gracious hosts, and the little house is well equipped, private and quiet.

Victoria2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Exactly as advertised. It was a lovely location. The place was very nicely appointed and organized. Steve and Marie were terrific hosts, with fresh scones and maple syrup waiting for us upon our arrival. We had a great time.

David2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

Steve and Marie are incredible hosts. Very caring and considerate. The cottage is clean, cozy and adorable! The Lake is beautiful. A short drive to the center of Williamsburg we found everything we could possibly need. The next time we are in the area we are hoping that the cottage will available! 5 stars!!

Patricia2016-12-21T00:00:00Z

Steve & Marie's place is beautiful just as viewed in the pictures. They have thought of everything. Steve greeted us on arrival, fresh baked goodies were waiting & stocked fridge of water. We have stayed in many Airbnb and this one ranks very high . We so loved the beautiful lake & getting to go kayaking.We would definitely stay again!!

Located in a private community, the neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. Private woods in back yard, pond access and 9 hole pitch and putt golf.
20 min. to Northampton, 30 min UMass/Amherst. Berkshires, Springfield, S.Vt, less than 1 hr away. A great retreat from the hubbub.

Very quiet, peaceful location close to many W. Mass attractions.

We had a lovely stay at the Carpentar house! Everything was as described. The place was very clean and comfortable (love bed!). Daniel was very friendly and easy to reach. We look foreward to future stays.

Courtney2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Clover2017-06-23T00:00:00Z

Wow! This little cottage was perfect for our short family vacation! The location was great, and the cottage itself, and the surrounding area, were gorgeous! We loved the town of Williamsburg, and the pond was great for swimming and canoeing. We will be back next summer, for certain!

Clarissa2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

The place was quaint and clean, had everything needed for the stay. Only thing we wish the pond was closer to get to. Very responsive host!

Lyudmila2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Great cabin with everything you'll need for a terrific adventure! Very comfortable beds and lots of ample communal space for gathering. Daniel was very accommodating and extremely helpful getting us settled. The cabin is in a private community with a lake and pitch & putt golf course. The cabin isn't on the lake but Daniel has easy access to the water very nearby and you can use any of his many boats! Definite recommend for a sweet getaway!

Sara2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

My parents and I stayed at Carpenter house for two nights. The neighborhood is quet with lots of lake summer homes, surrounded by forest. I really enjoyed going for a walk around the pond and the house was clean and cozy. Great place to get away.

Beautiful country retreat! The two-story accommodations are comfortable, quiet and clean. Located on the grounds of Three Sisters Sanctuary consisting of 8-acres of tranquil, wondrous healing gardens filled with art installations. This is truly a unique space where art and nature merge and you'll be inspired to relax your body, calm your mind and refresh your soul.

The owner-artist designed and hand-crafted this space in the Arts and Crafts tradition, re-purposing architectural components from old buildings. This space can accommodate up to 4 adults. It consists of a one-bedroom, two-story apartment with private entrances, attached to the owner’s home. The first floor includes a period kitchen, living room with fold out queen-sized futon, and bath, overlooking the gardens. The tub/shower bathroom on the first floor invites one to linger in a steamy bath. The second floor consists of a spacious bedroom and sitting area furnished with a queen-sized bed with soft linens. The decorative features of this bedroom include antique fretwork, interesting art, stained glass, and a skylight that frames the stars. For an additional $75.00 a night a second private first floor bedroom with it's own bathroom and entrance is available.

Located in the Town of Goshen, Massachusetts where the Pioneer Valley meets the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. The town has a rural atmosphere, with one general store, a post office, a fire station, a regional elementary school in nearby Chesterfield, and a town hall. The town encompasses both the Upper and Lower Highland lakes, Upper being a part of the D.A.R. State Forest.

Richard's place is a not only comfortable but a work of art! He is really welcoming and helpful. The place has a great location in terms of views and ambiance - perfect for a group of friends or to read a book or work on some art yourselves! Highly recommend spending time here!

Mustafa2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Thank you Richard for your generous hospitality! We loved staying in this calming sanctuary and loved the grounds you have so inventively groomed and created. We will definitely be recommending the 3 Sisters Sanctuary to any friends that come through your neighborhood.

Cecilia2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Richard had coffee and milk waiting in our apartment when we arrived-- he was friendly and flexible. My daughter and I just loved it.

Jennifer2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

When we arrive at the sanctuary, we had a personalized welcome note, orange juice, milk, fresh fruit and cookies waiting for us. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and I'm picky about my beds and pillows. The gardens were so peaceful in the morning. Richard was very accommodating and made us a fire outdoors Saturday night. I really loved this place. We came to town for a music festival but staying at the sanctuary was the icing on the cake.

Sasha2015-07-12T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at the Three Sisters Sanctuary. It ticked all the usual boxes and way more! The inside of the apartment itself is like a work of art, but still very cozy and comfortable. There are many extra touches which made the place feel homely. As for outside, Richard's surrounding gardens are expansive and magical, ideal for peaceful morning strolls or for grabbing a quick moment with nature. All that and situated only a short drive from the area's great nature spots. In all, an ideal weekend! Thanks Richard!

Shane2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Richard was an amazing host. He was extremely helpful and accommodating without being intrusive in the least. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and extremely thoughtfully decorated. The 3 Sisters Sanctuary is an incredible lifelong work of love and art that everyone should be lucky enough to spend some time in. We're looking forward to returning whenever we have a chance. Thanks for everything Richard!

Seth2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

This place is magical and such a wonderful oasis in such a beautiful area! Richard is so kind and we had coffee with fresh milk and a basket of fruit upon arrival... so thoughtful! We can't wait to return again soon!

Bobbi Jo2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

This is my second visit! This little private retreat has everything you need for a lovely and cozy stay. It is immaculately clean with a little kitchen complete with one of the amazing hand made oven/stove tops Richard is known for. There is a wonderful, comfortable bedroom upstairs and downstairs has a nice sitting area with a 2nd bedroom. What sets this house apart however, is the amazing art work, hand made statues, amazing lamps he has created and paintings that grace the walls. You have to see it to believe it. It's like being in an art gallery. We were welcomed with a bowl of fruit and home made cookies. And the grounds outside are adorned with sculptures gardens, walkways and ritual circles that comprise the well known Three Sisters Sanctuary. A special place indeed.

Brand new, airy and modern.
500 + sq ft, hard wood floors, sunlight, ground floor, full bath, kitchen, linens. New queen mattress.
Large closet.
Enjoy the luxury of nature with the blend of bustling Northampton and the serenity of Berkshires. Stay healthy and walk the 2 mile loop around the lake and enjoy the easy access to local produce and restaurants.
Hike on local trails to immerse yourself in spectacular fall foliage. Down hill ski and snow shoe in the winter. During the summer experience great swimming in clean Hammond Pond.

We are located in the Pioneer Valley between Northampton and the Berkshires within the 5 College area. Ideally located for all the pleasures of rural life but within short driving distance to Northampton's vibrant cultural life. Our nearest neighbor is 100 yards away and the Hammond Pond swimming beach is 200ft. from our driveway. We are a 20 minute drive to Northampton MA, 20 minutes to Berkshire East (Ski, Raft, Zip), 45 minutes to Mass MOCA, Jacobs Pillow and Tanglewood.

Spend your days in the sun and nights on the screened porch. Perfect retreat for writer, artist, family! Swim, paddle or bike around the lake, enjoy the natural beauty. Catch a play in nearby Northampton or take a day trip to the Berkshires. Relaxation abounds!

This quaint cottage on Hammond Acres in Goshen Mass (gateway to the Berkshires but 20 minutes from fabulous downtown Northampton) offers a lovely sunrise over the cove, screened in porch and the quiet beauty of New England.
Two bedrooms, a living room overlooking the lake and a
large screened porch with futon, dining table and rocking chair! Perfect place to nap.

Peace and quiet!

We had a wonderful stay at Kathy's place. The setting is beautuful and quite remote, but also close to Northampton. Great place to unplug and relax in nature.

Brie2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It is beautifully located right on the water and even comes with a paddleboat that allows you to go right onto the lake. The house is spacious with two big bedrooms, a big living room and huge screened porch that allows you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Kathy was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a relaxing break in nature!

Inge2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

Kathy was a wonderful host. The cottage was perfect and relaxing. I had a great stay!

Lizzie2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

The swimming was great and the cottage was a good place for a puzzle and games on a rainy day.

Robin2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at Kathy's place – it's an extraordinary setting. A bit of a drive from many of the Berkshires towns, but very close to Northampton. We neglected to read that there was no air conditioning or wifi – so do plan to unplug.

Daniel2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

Kathy was great, very friendly and was always available. She was quick to respond even while abroad. The cottage is what we expected for a relaxing vacation. The place is pretty remote, privacy and peace is ensured.

Katie2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

Our family ranges in age from 2 to 78, and we all enjoyed a delightful time at Kathy's house - which feels like a simple but cozy home in a quiet, relaxing location. The kids loved the deep bathtub! The adults appreciated the comfortable seating. We all enjoyed meals and movies on the spacious screened-in porch, the paddle boat and turtle sightings, walks around the lake, and the kid-perfect sandy beach. Kathy was quickly responsive by text and very kind.

Watch the stars come out over the lake at night and get away from it all in this renovated cabin that offers guests peace and quiet, open, modern floor plan with cathedral ceilings, new kitchen and bath, working fireplace, screened porch, and a beautiful view of the lake. This is getting away from it all - a place to UnPlug! There is No WIFI, no Cable TV, and cell signals are poor. Plan accordingly and you will enjoy being off the grid for a few days!

This cabin is the perfect way to experience quiet lakeside living in the Hilltowns of Western Mass. Only 30 minutes from hip downtown Northampton, and 30 minutes from the heart of the Berkshires, we recently updated this sweet old cabin and modernized it, so that guests can experience the traditional feel of a quaint lakeside cabin with a modern, stylish and peaceful interior space.
Open floor plan with cathedral ceilings in the living room/kitchen, plus a working fireplace. Both the kitchen and the bathroom have been completely modernized - and are beautiful. The bedrooms are spacious, quiet and comfortable, with double bed in one, and two twins in the second. The living room couch doubles as a daybed that can accommodate one more guest for an additional fee, for up to 5 guests total.
It is peaceful and lovely on the lake. The screened porch at the back of the house overlooks Damon Pond, which is only steps away. You will be able to see the stars at night, hear the birds singing in the morning, and watch the sun rise. If you want to "get away from it all" - this is the place.
There is NO wifi. There is NO Cable TV. Cell phone service is spotty. You will be getting away from it all here! Please know this before you book.

Damon Pond is a private lake located on the Goshen/Chesterfield border. As it's private, you will have exclusive access to the lake for fishing and swimming. However, outside boats are not allowed in Damon Pond, due to a local environmental restriction meant to prevent the introduction of invasive foreign species into the lake.

This is a true gem with easy access to Northampton and Adams. Get a copy of the Valley Advocate for a plethora of activities.

Jerry2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our time at the cottage. It was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. We liked being on the lake and took some nice hikes/runs in the nearby woods. Michelle was very helpful in providing information about local grocery stores, restaurants, and attractions. A great place for a quiet few days!

Karen2016-10-19T00:00:00Z

Lovely renovated cottage, beautiful surroundings, waterlily-covered pond with kayaks we could use, including lifejackets! Nice beach for swimming nearby. Basic things for cooking (oil, vinegar etc.) all provided. Very quiet, if the place were closer to our home we would come back regularly!

Ellen2016-08-05T00:00:00Z

Everything about our stay was great, especially the location and the cottage itself - even though we live only 1/2 hour away, my family and I truly felt like we were on vacation.

Lori2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

Many thanks to Michelle and James. Even though it rained so much (in June!) we had a sweet time with family and friends at the lake. Thanks again for a great stay and a fully stocked fireplace! -David

David2017-06-06T00:00:00Z

We had a great time! Michelle was very helpful and the place was super clean and she also left us toys for our daughter and some stuff in the fridge. Super sweet! It's a really nice quiet and peaceful spot.

mandy2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

Michelle and James, Thank you! We had a wonderful stay. We are very grateful for kayaks and beach toys that you let us use. We really enjoyed kayaking to the beach. Michelle's travel tips on places to see and visit were especially useful as we were not familiar with the area. The house was a perfect fit for our family of four. It is clean and newly renovated.

There is also beautiful breezes outside to cool you down since we live at 900ft elevation on a mountain top.

Our neighborhood is a quiet street on Briar hill with friendly neighbors and beautiful vistas.

Our stay at Val's place was wonderful - I actually think the listing didn't do the house justice! We were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the house and especially enjoyed the kitchen and solarium! Val was very responsive both before and during our stay. We hope to come back in the summer and enjoy the pool and the large, wrap around porch. All around it was the perfect stay for us, our ten month old daughter and dog. Thanks, Val!

Michelle2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

House is very welcoming and warm. Has everything you need for a brief or longer stay. I enjoyed the secludedness but at the same time it only takes a 15 min drive to Northampton and the great choice of reastaurants there. Good place to spend time away with the family.

Daniel2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

We really loved being here—both the setting, and the feeling of the house and the way it was furnished. The view from the atrium of the mountains was absolutely stunning (and was even more beautiful after a snowfall).

Gorgeous and very clean home! Beautiful well stocked kitchen with great views. Enjoyed the front porch which had automatic screens to keep the bugs away. Ping pong table was a lot fun! Wifi was strong. A short drive to Northampton and nice restaurants and shops. Visited Chapel Falls and DAR State Forest. Val was very responsive and answered all our questions, a great host!

The House was really lovely. Beds were comfortable. Wifi and cable TV were available.

Small, rustic cabin in the woods behind our home. The cabin has electricity, but no running water. The cabin is a beautiful place to slow down, connect to nature and one's self, but it is not for everyone. If you love to camp, you will love the cabin. It is the perfect locale for a personal retreat. If camping is not your thing, the cabin may not be for you. It is like a tree house, where all are welcome to come, simplify life and just be.

There is a full sized, comfortable bed for sleeping in the cabin, as well as a table for working or having a meal. The cabin has a dry bathroom (no plumbing), there is a wash basin and container of water for handwashing and an antique composting toilet. There is also a woodstove to heat the cabin in the chilly season. The cabin is available May-Nov. Hearty, experienced winter campers may inquire about winter rentals during the ski season.

Cummington is a beautiful, rural town; but we are just 30 min from Shelburne Falls and Northampton as well as 45min to 1hr from the many cultural offerings of the Berkshires. There are plenty of nearby forests and parks to hike, bike, fish and canoe. We are 45 min from Zoar Outdoor and Berkshire East for your outdoor adventures. We are just 5 min from the Old Creamery Coop a neighborhood treasure to grab a quick meal or pick up some groceries. There is plenty to do to fill your time while in the hilltowns. We are happy to help you plan your visit.

We give this cabin experience an overall 10 star review! From the cabin itself, to the location, surrounding area and hosts. Upon booking you are put in touch with the owners who are so accommodating and friendly. They go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. You will feel right at home with all the nice little touches. The cabin/lake house is ADORABLY decorated and one of the coziest places we have ever stayed (and we have been quite a few places!). Soft lighting, candles, well-equipped kitchen, games - everything you need. It would be perfect for a family or a couple as my husband and I spent a romantic weekend there. We had a short walk to the lake where we took their boat out and caught several nice size bass, spent our evenings in front of the fireplace, cooking on the gas grill on the deck, out on the fire pit out back and playing horseshoes. We drove around to explore the area a bit - check out the General Store, very cute. And came across a hidden gem casual seafood restaurant - the Williamsburg Snack Bar - highly recommend...delicious! Can't recommend this cabin enough - this is a beautiful small lake community and this cabin setting is wonderful. You will love it! We spent a long Labor Day weekend here and it was amazing. We are looking forward to going back one day! Thanks again for everything:)

A gem in a secluded garden. This adorable studio has everything you need for a quiet getaway, or a hop into town. Anything you might possibly need is provided and more. Kate and Kelly are kind and caring hosts. We cannot think of a place that we'd rather stay.

Amy2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Katherine's home was by far one of the best Airbnb's I have ever used. The studio apartment is absolutely gorgeous and super comfortable! I'm an academic and had a lot of writing and grading to do while I was there, and the space was perfect for me (a coffee maker, table to work at, quiet). Katherine also seems to think of everything - there were plenty of breakfast foods, a coffee and tea maker (she even had half and half in the fridge for me), toiletries in case I had forgotten something. Since the snow has just melted in MA, the gardens weren't in bloom yet, but I'm assuming they'll be gorgeous over the summer and I bet the New England Fall foliage around her home is stunning - I'll definitely be going back to see them. Also, there are some great places to walk near her home (including the Hill Town Land Trust) if you're outdoorsy. Home is a really quick drive to Northampton and the Five Colleges, and the town of Williamsburg has a cute general store and a brewery!

Five stars in every way.

Julie2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

Kate and Kelly were amazing hosts and their place is lovely! Four of us stayed there and we couldn't have felt more comfortable or welcome in their cozy, chic studio. The place was equipped with everything from snacks to a Keurig to a platter of bagels! Their home and studio sit on a beautiful piece of land filled with gardens. It is a true oasis positioned well for easy access to the surrounding towns. We would love to come back!

Rebecca2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Simple and comfy Williamsburg, MA stay. The place is actually better than the photos and the garden is gorgeous. Perfect getaway from NYC. Super nice hosts and a sweet doggy. I made a good choice and you will too.

Nick2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

I needed a place to rest, relax and recharge and Kate and Kelly's place was the perfect place to do it!! They have thought of everything a guest might need to be comfortable in their beautiful studio apartment. Plenty of breakfast foods, coffee and tea with all the fixings, any toiletry you might have forgotten at home along with beautiful gardens to enjoy and stroll thorough. The studio was easy to find and close to Historic Deerfield, Amherst and Northampton. It was a one hour drive on a scenic byway to visit the Hancock Shaker Village. Thank you Kate and Kelly for sharing your studio and yourselves. This was a wonderful first Airbnb experience!!

DeAnna 2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

The studio was very quiet and everything was in good condition and clean. The complimentary breakfast was very convenient and saved us time and money in the mornings. Definitely would recommend!

Come see New England in all it's glory on beautiful Hammond Pond in Goshen, MA. 25 minutes from downtown Northampton but always quiet and serene. Two night minimum booking for the weekends. The lake is warm enough for swimming by May and this is a perfect place to celebrate your local college graduates.

Open living space looks out on the water. The two bedrooms plus loft space can sleep up to 6 people in this camp. The kitchen is stocked with the basics-tea, coffee, herbs and spices.
Price of 250$ per night is for 2 guests. 50$ per night for each additional guest.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jain's. My boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary and enjoy all it had to offer. We made our first fire, went canoeing and even tasted her wild blueberry plant growing in the backyard! We are so grateful for our experience and hope to take our friends and family back for another stay!

Mia2014-08-04T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at Jain's house. The location is fantastic. It's directly on a pond with really clean water. There's a little beach area for swimming and a small dock for the boats. Our son loved running around in the large back yard and we loved sitting around the fire pit at night. The house was perfect for our small family and 2 dogs (and we didn't even use the loft). We really enjoyed sitting in the back porch overlooking the water eating our meals. The bed was very comfy too.

Paul2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Jain's house. Plenty of room for four of us in this comfortable and inviting home. The lake was perfect for swimming, we grilled and took advantage of the kayaks and canoe. Highly recommend!

Ceci2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Great spot on a sweet private lake with no motor boats. Perfect for families with children. Swam, rode the paddle boats, had a wienie roast - what more could you want? Jain is a good communicator and reliable host. This was our second stay at the cabin.

Tia2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

This home was the epitome of relaxation. Beautiful view, comfy and cozy home, and peace and quiet. Very hospitable and welcomed us with open arms. We spent the morning canoeing around the lake and the night roasting marshmallows over the fire. It was really hard to go home after staying in this place.

Adham2014-09-27T00:00:00Z

Jain was such a great host to me and my family visiting Western Mass for my brother's college graduation. She made sure we were comfortable with directions, and spoke on the phone with my mother who had questions about the place. The house was perfect for 4-5 people. Even with the rainy weather we had, it was still a peaceful cabin on the lake.

Casey2016-05-08T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at the Waterfront Camp. The house is very nice. We enjoy canoeing in the lake with the foliage back drop. Jain is also helpful and easy to communicate. We would like to go back again especially in summer!!

Chi&Chatta2014-10-19T00:00:00Z

Amazing location. Jain makes the home feel like yours, it's very private and cozy. She was helpful and communicative. I would definitely recommend this spot and hope to return in the summer!

sweet cozy yurt nestled in the woods, surrounded by watershed land, wonderful trails. Magical, quiet, on a dirt road, no street lights. Perfect for retreat, unplugged time, your creative down time, Private yet
not isolated, starry nights, owls, full kitchen, private entrance to private bathroom in the main house 200 ft away from the yurt. Wood heat, must be comfortable with a wood stove chop wood/carry water mentality( wood already chopped.
A little piece of timeless heaven.

Lovely yurt on the woods.

Romain2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I went to Carolyn's yurt for a long weekend and it was exactly what we wanted! Secluded from the main house and the rest of the world, we didn't have cell service which was just what we needed. It's walking distance to cross-country trails and less than an hour drive to downhill skiing. A little bit of glamping, it's basic, but cozy and romantic and I'm hoping to go back soon! Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to unplug, see some gorgeous stars and enjoy a bit of simplicity for a few days.

Roxanne2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Such a beautiful escape! Carolyn was so friendly and warm. The neighbors were also very friendly. The yurt is not too far from the house but still very private. I do hope to return in the winter!!

Sam2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

This yurt is surrounded by gorgeous woods, the sounds of birds, and the smell of trees and flowers.

Noah2017-05-16T00:00:00Z

Amazing place! The yurt was great!

Devon2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at the yurt! Unfortunately, Carolyn was out of town so we did not get to meet her, but she organized everything ahead of time so our visit went smoothly regardless. We met her charming cats, and we found the yurt to be even nicer of a space than we expected from the pictures. It was great hearing owls at night, roosters during the day and getting to enjoy the forest. The little wood stove heated the place right up when it got chilly at night. The location was great - far enough into the woods to feel like an escape, but close enough to Northampton that we were able to have dinner in town. Thanks so much for hosting us!

Leah2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

We had such an amazing experience staying in the yurt, and a big part of that was thanks to Carolyn being such a sweet, and helpful host. We didn't know what to expect going into it, having never stayed in a yurt before. But were so pleasantly surprised by the beauty, and how peaceful it was. Coming from NYC it was the absolute perfect getaway! We are looking forward to going back in the near future. Highly recommend!

College graduations, reunions and parents weekends are right around the corner! Book our cabin on Hammond Pond for a little slice of heaven. Just 20 minutes from Northampton, this house situated on a lovely lake is a perfect place to unwind.

The downstairs has an open floor-plan where you can see the lake from every room. The kitchen is well-stocked with a full fridge, working stove -oven, microwave and dishwasher. Eat in the dining room or at our table on the screened in porch overlooking the water. Upstairs includes a loft-landing with a Queen-size bed and a bedroom with 2 singles and another Queen.

The cabin is secluded, quaint and lovely. The large backyard is great for families, has a large grill and is right on a big pond which was perfect for kayaking and swimming. There are many restaurants within a short drive. We also went whitewater rafting which was within a 30 minute drive. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and was perfect, and the owners could not have been more helpful. This is a wonderful place!!

Steven2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

The Little Blue Cabin is everything you would expect about a lakeside cabin in the New England woods EXCEPT dampness, mold, spiders, and mice! It has a rustic feel while remaining clean and dry inside. There is a comfortable screen porch with direct views on the pond.The cabin appears to have been recently renovated: furnishings were comfortable, up-to-date bathroom fixtures, fresh paint. Nunia had put out fresh flowers and chocolate treats to welcome us. We would certainly recommend the Little Blue Cabin for those wishing to stay in the area.

John W2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

This place was perfect for what we needed. I wish the weather had been a little warmer so we could enjoy the sunroom but the view was lovely in the morning regardless. The wifi is spotty so I suggest you bring a hotspot if you'll need it during your stay. Beds are comfy and kitchen is well stocked with appliances and tools. Nunia was very accommodating and nice!

Nicole2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

The little blue cabin is lovely. We were greeted by fresh flowers, fluffy towels and chocolate. The house was clean with good seating and dining areas. The bed we slept in was comfortable. We were happy to see that Nunia added pictures of the screened in porch to her listing - we lived on it. Reclining on the large couch watching the water was so relaxing (no power boats allowed on the pond). They had great access for launching our kayaks. It's a sweet little pond for swimming or paddling. We hope to go back for a longer visit soon.

Bedroom is cozy but not cramped, with a skylight looking into the nearby treetops, an organic cotton futon on a cherry wood bed-frame. The adjoining sunny upstairs lounge features large windows looking out into the giant ferns and mixed woods forest.

A quiet home where conversation and joyful celebrations are welcomed. Three cats share the indoor and outdoor spaces. No chemical cleaning products are used.

This neighborhood is forested, and along a main road, with all houses set far back, and generally very peaceful. Stars are brilliant on clear nights, with peepers and crickets singing you to sleep, owls calling into your dreams, and robins, cardinals, and chickadees waking you in the morning.

It was very nice talking to Olga over coffee. She made nice efforts to be helpful and communicate promptly over any concerns (such as finding her driveway on the road). She was respectful, honest, cordial. Her place is very clean and comfortable. She is very clear about her house rules.

Mary2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Olga did a lovely job at making me feel right at home, very accommodating. Her home is in a beautiful area and it's an amazing place to find comfort and quiet.

Mack2016-06-03T00:00:00Z

Olga was a wonderful host. She was both respectful of my privacy when I was tired, and very happy to talk and share meals with me. While there she suggested great places for me to go shopping and eat, and invited me to go to a live Taiko performance that was great. The house and surrounding land was beautiful and charming, and my whole experience was wonderful. I definitely plan on staying here again if I'm every in the area, and would suggest it to anyone else.

Solomon2015-10-26T00:00:00Z

The room was lovely as was the entire home. Olga was a perfect host, friendly and helpful but not intrusive. And she brewed the best coffee we've ever had!

Craig2017-05-13T00:00:00Z

Olga's accomodations were exactly as shown, but the pictures fail to communicate how beautiful and peaceful the lush forest setting is. This retreat is a perfect place to stay for a college visit to Northampton or Amherst if you don't mind being a short pretty drive out of town. We woke up to a gorgeous fall day and were astonished by the colors of the leaves and freshness of the air. Olga couldn't have been more solicitous, but she took cues from us about how much we did or didn't want to interact.

Alison2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Olga's home is very lovely. It's on a quiet stretch of road and surrounded by trees. I loved hearing the sounds of nature all around. Her house is very tidy and yet full of interesting and unique items. The guest bedroom and bathroom are set off in a separate part of the house so there's plenty of privacy. I needed to be in Northampton which is an easy 15 minute drive from the house. I recommend staying at Olga's place if you want to be a bit out of town and in a woodsy area where you can relax and enjoy nature.

Madeline2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Olga was wonderful and she met us when we arrived at her lovely home. The room is exactly as described and very quiet and peaceful. Everything was great for my stay there. Olga was very kind and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely return if in the area again.

Private, light-filled yurt is the perfect sanctuary for an individual or couple. Nestled in the forest, this cozy yurt is wood-heated and completely off-grid. Excellent hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing on site. Explore nearby towns, farms and sugar shacks! Bathroom and electricity to charge devices, etc are in the main house. Breakfast is included and all meals are available at an extra charge. All diets accommodated. For retreat options, check out (URL HIDDEN)

A unique find, this yurt comes with bamboo floors, a gorgeous round skylight (perfect for moon and star gazing through the trees) and is furnished with a brand-new bed and new down pillows and comforter and a rocking chair for relaxing by the fire. We keep a variety of teas and a kettle you can just heat on the stove in there. Must be comfortable operating a wood stove, unless it's summer. Because of the lack of electricity and wiring, your nervous system can settle in a different way than if in a traditional building. Pretty rare to find these days! Also, curved lattice walls are awesome - just saying.

Trees, trees and more trees! This is an ideal getaway. Go for a hike in our woods and you won't have to see a soul if you don't want to. A few quaint little eating places (even a co-op!) within a 10 min drive, and if you want to venture a bit further (20-30 mins) you have a TON of restaurant options. We are 10 minutes away from the Earthdance community. Shelburne Falls and the Bridge of Flowers is 20 mins northeast of us, Five college area 30 mins south, and Tanglewood and all the Berkshires has to offer 1 hour west. This is a great place to land if you intend to make day trips to any of these areas and want to have a sanctuary to return to in the evening.

As described, very pleasant and secluded, delicious breakfast, kind hospitality.

Benjamin2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

An absolutely beautiful place to stay and hope to return!

Jon2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

My partner and I stayed here for two nights and absolutely adored it. We left the yurt only to go walk through the expansive woods. The wood stove kept us plenty warm, the breakfast provided was made from scratch and delicious, and lying on the sheepskin rugs listening to barred owls and other creatures was an unexpected luxury. Using the facilities in the main house was easy and comfortable. Our hosts were very welcoming, kind, and understanding when we slept in past breakfast. 10/10 would yurt again.

Chelsea2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

A perfect spot for a midsummer getaway. Tatiana and her family are very welcoming and everything was just what I needed to escape the hustle and bustle!

Erin2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Tatiana & her family are great, she answered all of my questions and offered advice. This is a beautiful space and at night is magical. There are beautiful woods you can walk in and it is a perfect relaxing get away.

Audrey2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Isabela2017-05-30T00:00:00Z

I could not have been more content with my stay here. Tatiana and her family were generous and welcoming. The yurt was cozy and clean, and the wood-burning stove kept me warm even through a 10ºF night. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Anna2017-03-24T00:00:00Z

The yurt was just as pictured and described, very new and clean. Bed was quite comfortable. Although the property isn't on a main road I did here a bit of noise at night, I chalked it up to high school kids messing around on a Friday night, nothing major.

The Red House, at the foot of the Berkshires, is perched above the Mill River in walkable and historic, (founded 1771,) Williamsburg, MA. We are twenty minutes to Northampton and close to all the Five Colleges.
Newly renovated, we are proud of our AC via mini-splits, though the economical "on demand' hot water takes a long while to get up to the second floor.
The final renovations will include moving the laundry to the bedroom level and an updated shower stall.

We boast the prettiest street in town, full of gorgeous Victorians and New England Colonials. The historic Williamsburg Blacksmith forge and showroom, operational, is around the corner. Our 150 year old Fire Station, next door, never uses an alarm, but provides excitement and activity occasionally when it responds.
The Master, with a queen bed, has a Mission desk.
The second bedroom, with two twin beds includes a comfortable reading spot.
And, did I mention, we are right on the river.

This house is walkable, grocery, library (with WiFi,) Brewmasters restaurant, Church, and the General Store. Angle Park often has outdoor music.
Notebooks in the house for restaurants, how things work, and trails.

Cute house, fun stay!

Comfortable place to stay if you're in the area -- good beds, seating areas & light. Well-stocked kitchen. Very quiet location.

Deborah2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Barbara's small house was ideal for the three of us. Three very comfortable beds. The house was immaculate--not a speck of dust anywhere. Kitchen well supplied and Barbara had coffee and milk available for our use. We had a code to the house which allowed us great flexibility in coming and going. We won't hesitate to stay again at Barbara's house if we are going to be in the area.

Linda Zoe2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Perfect location for visiting local area. Loved being able to walk to shops and eateries. Comfortable house and perfect for a weekend away. Thank you.

Sarah2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

This home has a cozy cottage feel with a river running literally right behind it ! To hear the running water while falling asleep and throughout the day while sitting in the back room that looks out over the water gives the place a peaceful charm. The home was very clean, beds were super comfortable. It is right on the edge of a small, charming town - an easy walk to the local stores for breakfast and coffee. Overall a comfortable space to stay!

James & Gillian2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Old fashioned house in quiet pretty village. Good kitchen, clean and private with large stream running behind so good if you like sound of water. We were there too short a time to review further.

Jean2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

We stayed a total of only ten hours. The house was cute, clean and the location was outstanding.
